“Bringing everyone to Dhaka would only cause unnecessary traffic congestion,” he said with a smile.
This statement reflected a practical and disciplined approach, emphasizing local-level organization rather than central gatherings.
Party Structure and Election Goals
The leaders revealed that the party’s main political office is located in Shewrapara, Dhaka. However, they admitted that no official constitution has been finalized yet.
They also informed the media that they had applied to the Election Commission for registration under the “Rocket” symbol. Even if registration takes time, BUP leaders plan to contest in the upcoming 13th National Parliamentary Elections.
